▸ • Meta drops Muse Code, a terminal-based AI agent ready to tackle your massive codebases
▸ • A 22-year-old motherboard vulnerability is leaving thousands of data centers wide open to attacks
▸ • Reddit signals the beginning of the end for old.reddit.com, locking it behind a login wall
Zuck and co. are tired of being the stragglers in the AI coding race. They just launched Muse Code, a terminal-based agent designed to handle complex software engineering tasks across massive repositories. It's available via a pay-as-you-go API, proving Meta is finally ready to throw hands with Anthropic and OpenAI.
The day we all feared is slowly arriving. Reddit announced "ominous" changes to its beloved legacy UI, starting with requiring users to be logged in to access it. They claim it's to stop "abusive scraping and spamming," but we all know it's just another nail in the coffin for the only usable version of the site.
Cloudflare just announced Cloudflare OS, an open platform designed to let companies build apps and automate work with AI agents. Because you can't just let AI run wild in your internal systems, they also launched WriteGuard, a tool that provides fine-grained controls for MCP servers.
Nikita Bier is stepping down as X's head of product after just one year on the job. In a move we can all respect, he announced it's time to pass the torch and return to his natural state: shitposting on the timeline.
As the web fills up with synthetic garbage, platforms are increasingly turning to AI to clean up the mess. This piece argues that automated moderation is fundamentally broken when dealing with AI-generated content, and why humans still need to be the ones moderating human communities.
In a world obsessed with the newest JavaScript framework of the week, sometimes you just need a rock-solid monolith. A great read on why Django continues to win developer hearts years later, proving that boring technology is often the best technology.
Security researchers just dropped a bomb at Black Hat: thousands of servers from HPE, Dell, and Supermicro have a vulnerability in their Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs). The flaw exposes authentication hashes before login, allowing attackers to crack passwords offline and gain deep access to data centers.
If you rely on ADB to uninstall carrier bloatware from your non-rooted Android phone, you might want to hold off on updating. Android 17 appears to be blocking the ADB uninstall command for system apps, breaking popular universal debloater tools.
As AI agents get more autonomous, giving them the keys to your infrastructure is terrifying. Cloudflare proposes a new architecture for securing task-scoped agents using strict identity brokering, continuous mediation, and stateful trust.
Remember when Elon Musk promised an AI-generated encyclopedia that would be a "massive improvement" over Wikipedia? Yeah, about that. Reports show that Grokipedia hasn't had a single entry updated since April 24th.
Nintendo absolutely smashed its Q1 earnings estimates, but it wasn't just because of game sales. The gaming giant got a massive boost from US tariff refunds. Don't expect them to pass those savings onto you, though.
